[![image from ceoworld.biz](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e20120a5bc0558970b-100wi)](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e20120a5bc0558970b-pi?ref=hypebot.com) I recently asked [Hypebot's ](http://twitter.com/hypebot?ref=hypebot.com)**[Twitter followers](http://twitter.com/hypebot?ref=hypebot.com)** to contribute their best **advice to musicians** in twitterspeak's **140 characters or less**. Below are a few of the best that that I gathered using **[Twitoaster](http://twitoaster.com/?ref=hypebot.com)**, a free online utility that threads and archives twitter conversations, bringing context and adding stats to your Twitter communications.

Some of the tweets are philosophical; while others are specific suggestions. **Add yours** in the **comments section** below or reply to this Tweet if you're a [Hypebot Twitter follower](http://twitter.com/hypebot?ref=hypebot.com). Please also consider a retweet, Digg or otherwise spreading the word. I'll **republish the best in a full post** or two here, and if I get enough I may start a daily inspirational Tweet for musicians. **What music industry advice can you share in 140 characters or less?**
